Whirlpool of India sought shareholder approval via postal ballot to re-designate Mr. Anil Berera (DIN: 00306485) as a Non-Executive Independent Director. The special resolution failed to secure the required 75% majority, with 62.25% of votes in favour (6.45 crore shares) and 37.75% against (3.91 crore shares). As a result, Mr. Anil Berera will continue in his existing role as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director on the board.
Shareholders have effectively blocked Mr. Berera's elevation to Independent Director status, raising potential governance concerns. He retains his board seat but without independent designation, which means the company's independent director composition remains unchanged. This rejection could signal shareholder discomfort with his existing relationship with the company and may invite closer scrutiny of board governance going forward.
